The victim's body and a rifle were located in the driveway behind two vehicles, with several other weapons close by, State Police Sgt. Jaime Leyva said. Leyva said the victim had suffered at least one gunshot wound, but as of Saturday it was unclear if the wound was self-inflicted or from police gunfire. Neighbor Tom Schwander, a retired Michigan state police officer who observed the standoff from his home, said dozens of shots were fired at police from underneath a pickup, one of two vehicles positioned in the driveway in front of garage doors. Leyva could not specify how many rounds were fired at law enforcement during the standoff, but Schwander said he heard three sustained barrages coming from the house until early Friday afternoon when the shooting stopped.

Steve Landeene, Spaceport Authority executive director, said Friday that he has not yet read CE&M's protest, but said he was certain the right firm was selected at the end of the bidding process. \"I know we did the right thing, and I know we picked the right company based on the criteria that was outlined,\" Landeene said. \"I am 100 percent confident that we followed the process and we picked the best company that presented.\" CE&M's protest is the second to be filed regarding the selection process. The Spaceport Authority determined a Nov. 18 protest from Progressive Construction was filed after the Oct. 17 deadline for protests to be filed prior to the awarding of the contract.

\"I believe Mexico under [Felipe Caldern] has made some positive advances in the area of dealing with law enforcement, violence on the border,\" [Bill Richardson] said. \"They still have to do a lot more. Corruption issues, border violence, border law enforcement, drugs are still serious problems.\" \"In the city of [Jurez], there's no question that law enforcement has proven inadequate to the challenge they have there,\" [Jeff Bingaman] said. \"I think it's fair to say they have not been able to provide security to the citizens of Jurez and the people who visit there, and that's true of some other border towns.\" \"The civilian government in Jurez, much of it lives in El Paso,\" O'[Rourke] said. \"And their first and primary responsibility, which is ensuring public safety, can no longer be delivered. I think, by most definitions, that's failure.\"

\"He was defending his livestock on private property, and is a reputable individual who happens to support the wolf reintroduction program as well and regrets panicking and making a bad decision and trying to hide it,\" said Sam Holdsworth, the owner of 150 acres of the XSX Ranch. A six-acre portion of the ranch is separately owned. Using a search warrant, federal agents Aug. 15 recovered the body of the Laredo Pack alpha male, a wolf designated AM 1008, that had been buried on the XSX Ranch on the east fork of the Gila River. The wolf's radio collar began emitting a mortality signal on Aug. 6, less than two months after the wolf was released in the Gila Wilderness with its mate.

The animal's corpse was recovered Aug. 15 on private land in the Gila Hot Springs area near the Gila Cliff Dwellings after a mortality signal was emitted Aug. 6 from its radio collar, according to a federal search warrant obtained this week by the Journal. According to the search warrant, the wolf, designated AM 1008, and its mate were released in the McKenna Park area of the Gila Wilderness on June 24. By early July, the pair had traveled about 15 miles south to the Gila Hot Springs area, and wildlife technicians were dispatched to monitor the wolves and haze them away from residential areas.

\"In an area this size, it's pretty tough to dump 1,000 people into the economy,\" said Kevin Vest, a 54-year-old truck driver for the Chino Mine and a grievance chairman for the United Steelworkers Local 890, which represents several hundred Freeport-McMoran employees. \"It's just tough for an area this size to absorb this. They're going to have to relocate.\" Chino haul truck driver Debbie Gonzales, a 40-year-old single mother of a 15-year-old son, checked job postings at the state Department of Workforce Solutions on Thursday afternoon. After learning Dec. 3 she was being laid off, Gonzales said she filed job applications at six local businesses. \"Right now, everywhere I've gone looking for work, they say there is a job freeze,\" Gonzales said. \"I'm the sole provider of the house, so I've got to make sure I'll be able to provide.\" \"That's the only way to bring prices back up -- to get a lot of copper off the world market,\" Vest said. \"We'll get through this. We've been through it before. ... You never get used to it, but each time it happens, you're more prepared.\"

The inmates were told to fight with boxing gloves in the detention center's sally port, but they were not given headgear or mouth guards, according to an affidavit filed by an investigator with the 6th Judicial District Attorney's Office. Last month, Silver City lawyer Jim Foy put Grant County on notice that he may sue the county on behalf of seven of the inmates involved in the fights. Foy, in tort claim notices filed with the county clerk, alleged that detention center management \"failed to adequately train and supervise their subordinates, thereby nurturing a long-standing culture of direct indifference\" to officers' duty to safeguard inmates. \"It's one of the wackiest set of facts I've seen in 20 years,'' Foy said in a telephone interview Tuesday. \"I don't know why they (officers) did it. That is still beyond me. But clearly it was entertaining to them and there was some money being exchanged.''

Sunland Park resident Joe Rivera, a 48-year-old welder who had supported Clinton, toted a blue Obama yard sign as he left Saturday's rally. \"I figure if she (Clinton) backs Obama, he's got to be a good guy,\" he said. \"I'm going to go with [Hillary Clinton]'s instincts. I believe in her.'' Robert Parra said he will vote for Obama, in part, because he believes Obama will be sensitive to Hispanic concerns. \"The fact that he's a minority, I think he's walked a mile in our shoes, and that's a lot,\" Parra said. \"Our voices need to be heard more.'' She said it took a Democrat, her husband, former President Bill Clinton, \"to clean up\" after the administration of \"the first [George Bush],'' the current president's father, \"and it's going to take another Democrat to clean up after this George Bush.''

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee targeted the race with financial support in June by adding it to the party's Red to Blue program. In June, the Cook Political Report in Washington, D.C., changed its characterization of the race from \"likely Republican\" to \"lean Republican.\" On Oct. 2, Cook changed the forecast, again, to \"toss up.'' Former Gov. Garrey Carruthers, dean of New Mexico State University's business college and a Republican supporter of [Ed Tinsley], said that if the nation's economy was stronger, Tinsley would \"win it going away.\" Asked what will get voters to choose him over a Republican, [Harry Teague] said, \"I really do think it's the story of what I've done and how I've helped my community... I think the fact I had to work for a living, and built a business, those are things most people relate to.''

\"It's real tangible proof that this project is working,'' [Stefan Calabria] said, in between peeking through a telescope to read the markings on the bands ringing each falcon's legs. \"She's starting to molt into her adult plumage. To see that she's made it this far is very encouraging.'' \"After their release, there's not a lot of hands-on,'' [Angel Montoya] said. \"The birds do their own thing.''
